The Mountain Array's once indestructible armor now appeared incredibly fragile under the impact of the seven world-destroying beams, as easily destroyed as paper.

Those warships that bravely attempted to use themselves as shields for the Mountain Array instantly disintegrated in the face of this terrifying light, turning into countless fragments that drifted into the endless universe.

It should be noted that the Mountain Formation had already lost a full tenth of its mass due to self-harm, and its defensive capabilities were already far inferior to what they used to be.

However, fate seems to have no intention of letting this battered giant ship go; it has now suffered another major blow, and its situation is becoming increasingly critical.

The original demon prince, Bilak, harbored treacherous intentions and attempted to hijack the Mountain Array and use its powerful firepower to bombard Terra Palace.

Unfortunately, the damage it painstakingly caused seemed so insignificant and powerless under the fierce bombardment of Hecate in the underworld.

In the end, a full third of the Mountain Array's hull was mercilessly destroyed by the Doomsday Cannon. With a violent explosion and tremor, the brave and fearless Imperial Navy soldiers were thrown into the cold, boundless void.

Their bodies froze rapidly, solidifying into lifelike sculptures, forever frozen in this desolate cosmic space.

In stark contrast, the Chaos Fleet was caught up in a frenzy of excitement.

Their morale reached unprecedented heights, with cheers rising and falling throughout the entire fleet.

Abaddon's seductive voice, in particular, echoed throughout every Chaos warship: "The Chaos Gods have bestowed yet another miracle upon us!"

Immediately afterwards, all the Chaos Space Marines shouted in unison: "Slay the False Emperor! Burn the Galaxy!"

This slogan, like a surging torrent, reverberated and echoed within every chaotic warship, lingering for a long time.

The encirclement meticulously constructed by Spiel has developed cracks, and the Mountain Array, which should have been as solid as a mountain, has now become the primary target of the Chaos Fleet's frenzied assault.

"Company Commander Galton! The situation is critical! Immediately order the Mountain Formation to disengage from the battlefield!" Spyr anxiously informed Galton. At the same time, he decisively ordered the entire Imperial Navy to abandon the encirclement and prepare for an emergency evacuation.

However, Galton appeared unusually stubborn, determined not to easily give up this golden opportunity to destroy the Black Legion in one fell swoop.

He responded loudly, "The Mountain Formation remains combat-ready."

Spier felt extremely distressed and helpless in the face of Galton's stubborn insistence.

It's important to know that the terrifying planet-killer has not been completely eliminated, and its doomsday cannon is still capable of firing.

Once the artillery fire begins, the slow-moving and poorly maneuverable Mountain Fortress will undoubtedly become a sitting duck with no chance of fighting back.

"The Mountain Array must not be exposed to the Planet Killer until it is destroyed!" Spear reiterated the gravity of the situation, but Galton did not seem to fully grasp the implications.

Time passed by, and each second felt incredibly long.

Finally, after some internal struggle, Galton gave his reply: "I... understand. The Mountain Array's Geller position is still functioning normally. I will immediately arrange for the Mountain Array to make an emergency jump into subspace."

Hearing Galton's reply, Speyer breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although the waiting period felt like an eternity to him, he ultimately achieved a relatively satisfactory result.

Now, all we can hope for is that the Yamajin can successfully escape the enemy's pursuit and preserve its strength for the battles to come.

No Chaos Space Marine could withstand the honor of destroying the Mountain Array. The Chaos ships pounced on the Mountain Array like madmen. They naturally saw the obvious warp fluctuations of the Mountain Array, but they didn't care at all.

During this time, the Imperial Navy fleet and the Mechanicus fleet located on both sides of the Mountain Array unleashed their full firepower, and many Chaos warships that had not yet recovered fell on the way of the charge.

Even under such intense bombardment, hundreds of Chaos Space Marines managed to board the Mountain Array before it made an emergency jump into the warp.

If it were the Mountain Array as originally destined, the sixty-five Imperial Fist Astartes would have been powerless to stop it. But now it also carries fifty Templar Knights, one hundred Ever Victorious Army soldiers, and one Holy Guard.

Knowing all along that the anti-heroic forces on the Mountain Array were insufficient, Kil'jaeden also had Alpharis guarantee that the Mountain Array would not fall into the hands of Chaos. Therefore, there was a Primarch hidden in the shadows among those victorious troops.

"Ha! Blood sacrifice to the Blood God! Skull offering to the Skull Seat!" The Chaos Space Marines, who believed in Khorne, began their slaughter the moment they stepped onto the Mountain Array. Eighty-eight of them boarded the Mountain Array.

The ones who came to their rescue were the Templars of the Primal Guard, the First Company of the Imperial Fist Legion.

One of the Khorne Space Marines sensed that the Templar before him was a formidable opponent, and he excitedly charged forward, brandishing his battle axe. The other Chaos Space Marines who followed Khorne also rushed impatiently toward the Templar, eager to seize the skull of the powerful warrior.

The 100 victorious warriors were divided into two teams: one team held off the 77 Chaos Space Marines who worshipped Nurgle, and the other team dealt with the 99 Chaos Space Marines who worshipped Tzeentch. The remaining 66 Chaos Space Marines who worshipped Slaanesh were dealt with by the Imperial Fist's remaining Astartes and mortal guards.

As for the traitors who were in a state of chaos, they saw the Imperial Guards standing in the middle of the road, their bodies engulfed in golden flames.

"Your opponent is me, you traitor!"

Both fleets on the edge of the Cadia system have temporarily lost the ability to defeat each other. The Imperial Navy, led by Spiel, is no longer able to maintain the encirclement after losing the Mountain Array. Once the Chaos Fleet breaks through, it will suffer serious losses.

The Chaos Fleet, amidst a series of explosions and traps, still had many ships that had not yet regained their combat capability, and the remaining warships could not pose a fatal threat to the Imperial Navy.

With Abaddon's tacit approval, the Imperial Navy began its retreat, and the pursuit by the Chaos Slayers was not too fierce.

Both sides achieved their temporary strategic objectives with minimal losses, but Abaddon, who had Hecate of the Underworld in his possession, held absolute initiative.

On the Mountain Formation, the veteran of the Black Legion, who led the Chaos Undifferentiated Forces, felt very lucky.

He knew that the Empire's so-called Astartes Codex had turned those loyal legions into a mere thousand men of worthless trash. He now led over two hundred Chaos Space Marines, enough to make those pitifully small Pseudo-Imperial servants understand what Astartes should be like.

Ha! There's only one Imperial Guard standing in their way! I heard the Imperial Fist calls themselves the Guardians of Terra; I wonder what those Imperial Guards think of that.

Wait, why are these Imperial Guards burning with golden flames?

This isn't the Imperial Guard! This is the pseudo-emperor's subspace...
